Chapter 116 Is Hongjun just making empty promises to fool us? It's time to officially begin the Investiture of the Gods!



When Lao Tzu uttered these words...

Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren all echoed his sentiments.

However, before Hongjun Laozu could answer...

The Jade Emperor has arrived!

"Dao Ancestor, your disciple Haotian requests an audience!"

At the entrance of Zixiao Palace, the Jade Emperor, in an extremely bad mood, bowed and spoke.

Hongjun Laozu knew why the Jade Emperor had come to be.

He looked at the Jade Emperor standing at the door and thought to himself:

"Another piece of trash!"

"These guys are all useless, not a single one of them can be trusted!"

Although Hongjun Laozu knew that the Jade Emperor's opponent was too strong.

The Great Shang Dynasty, built by Emperor Xin, was so powerful that even he could not see through it. Even the four saints, Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, were suppressed.

For the Jade Emperor, seeing no hope of victory, it was perfectly normal for him to come seeking help.

Even so, it didn't stop Hongjun Laozu from calling the Jade Emperor a piece of trash.

After all, from Hongjun Laozu's perspective, he very much hoped that the Jade Emperor could handle any powerful enemy he faced on his own and not bother him.

That's what makes a truly qualified underling!

......

My thoughts shifted.

Hongjun Patriarch remained completely expressionless:

"Haotian, come in and talk to me..."

soon.

The Jade Emperor rushed into the main hall.

Upon entering, the Jade Emperor showed no surprise at seeing Laozi, Yuanshi Tianzun, Jieyin Daoren, and Zhunti Daoren in the hall.

With a mournful face, he showed no embarrassment despite the presence of the Four Supreme Saints, and began to wail loudly:

"Dao Ancestor, you must do justice for your disciple!"

"Your disciple will obey your orders and diligently govern the Heavenly Court, fearing that I will fail to live up to your expectations!"

"Just when everything seemed to be going well, Emperor Xin became incredibly arrogant. Not only did he openly defy the Heavenly Laws and secretly cultivate, but he also used some kind of evil magic to create the so-called Great Shang Dynasty, and he appointed gods in the mortal realm, intending to replace the Heavenly Court!"

"Dao Ancestor, I do not wish to disturb you, but Di Xin has used some strange and evil magic that even saints can suppress. I am only a quasi-saint and am no match for him!"

"Waaah... In utter desperation, this disciple has no choice but to come and beg the Dao Ancestor for help in order to protect the Heavenly Court!"

......

The Jade Emperor wept bitterly, his cries so heart-wrenching that they brought tears to the eyes of all who heard them.

Judging from his current appearance, it was as if he had returned to being the attendant of the former Hongjun Ancestor, abandoning his noble status as the Lord of Heaven and behaving very humbly.

It must be said that the Jade Emperor was indeed a remarkable figure.

In Heaven, he tried his best to maintain his dignity as the Great Heavenly Venerable, and he was very good at putting on airs.

At this moment, he came to seek help from Hongjun Laozu, and he was very able to let go of the past.

His ability to bend and stretch might be the reason why he was able to become the all-powerful Heavenly Venerable in the Journey to the West world later on.

Seeing the Jade Emperor's lament.

The shrewd and calculating Hongjun Patriarch could naturally see that the Jade Emperor's performance contained an element of acting.

He waved his hand and said to the Jade Emperor:

"Haotian, you need not worry about Emperor Xin and the Great Shang Dynasty."

"It was only through the support of the extraterrestrial demons that Di Xin was able to rise from a mere mortal to possess such power."

"However, evil will eventually be defeated by justice. Di Xin can only be arrogant for a while, and he can never replace the Heavenly Court."

"It just so happens that before you came, the Supreme One and the others asked me how to deal with Di Xin, this evil henchman."

"Please sit down and listen to what I have to say."

......

Hearing what Hongjun Laozu said, the Jade Emperor breathed a sigh of relief.

He understood that since Hongjun was so confident, he must have a foolproof plan to defeat Di Xin.

So the Jade Emperor nodded, sat cross-legged on a futon, and waited for Hongjun Laozu's reply.

opposite.

After Hongjun Laozu finished speaking to the Jade Emperor,

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the faces of Taishang, Yuanshi, Jieyin, and Zhunti, and said:

"You all just said that defeating Di Xin is too difficult, and you want me to show you a clear path..."

"Actually, you are like this because you just suffered a setback with Di Xin and have developed too much of a shadow over him."

"I tell you all, it is very simple to defeat Di Xin. In the primordial world, the Heavenly Dao is supreme! The Investiture of the Gods is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao. Di Xin’s attempt to use evil magic to establish the so-called Great Shang Dynasty to go against the general trend of the Heavenly Dao is simply like a mantis trying to stop a chariot."

"If you all just focus on pushing forward the Great Tribulation of the Gods, you will naturally be able to defeat Emperor Xin, destroy the Shang Dynasty, and thwart the conspiracy of the extraterrestrial demons!"

At this point, Hongjun Laozu's gaze fixed on Yuanshi Tianzun:

"Yuanshi, both the Investiture of the Gods and the Child of the Great Calamity are in the Chan Sect. Immediately have the Child of the Great Calamity take the Investiture of the Gods down the mountain to officially begin the Investiture of the Gods!"

......

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun was somewhat bewildered.

Hongjun Laozu put it simply, but why did he feel that it was somewhat unreliable?

According to the script, this great calamity of the Investiture of the Gods will be orchestrated by the Son of the Great Calamity, who will bring the Investiture of the Gods to help a human power, ignite a great war in the human world, and overthrow the Shang Dynasty.

Originally, the script for the Investiture of the Gods was indeed very simple.

However, the current situation is that not only has Xiqi, which was originally chosen, been taken over by the Shang Dynasty ahead of schedule.

The entire human race, numbering in the hundreds of billions, was encompassed by the Great Shang Dynasty created by Emperor Xin.

That place has practically become a forbidden zone for gods.

Even they, as dignified saints and powerful beings, almost did not return when they entered the Great Shang Dynasty.
